U.S. troops uncover new atrocities near Gardelegen. German civilians dig graves for the decent reburial of Polish, Russian and Jewish prisoners who, while being marched to be the notorious Gardelegen concentration camp, eluded their guards and were then murdered in cold blood by Nazi guards after capture. The crimes were committed in the vicinity of Estedt, four miles north of Gardelegen. When the prisoners fled their guards, farmers in the area turned them over to German authorities, who ordered mass graves dug and then shot them. The U.S. Military Government made local German civilians exhume the bodies and provide a proper funeral. In the foreground is a 15-year-old boy, a son of one of the farmers who helped turn the victims over to the Nazis.
